Sorry these are a bit late, I lost that cord that connects your camera to your computer

But! I borrowed a friends today so here are some from last monthSTAMPEDE!I didnt actually go to the stampede, but I live right above it, so we has fireworks every night and restricted access to our neighborhood, that was awesomeThe downside was I couldnt walk through the stampede grounds to get to the C-train, which sucks

Fireworks!Those crazy stampede drunks do the silliest things, like putting parking signs in the river...silly silly

I splurged 2 weeks ago, big time! Even tho I am incredibly poor at the moment with wedding planning and summer pay (which is worse than regular grad student pay) when I saw this chair... I had to have itThere is an amazing antique store down the street from us...This beauty is an original chair from the Banff Springs Hotel lobby. They recently renovated the hotel, and the chairs were cast fourth into the worldThe fabric is a pale olive green with brown. I'm positive the wood is oak, and the springs and fabric are not warn at allInertia decided i bought the chair for her

6 days ago I had a bunionectomy, pretty much 'cause my foot was growing too wide to wear shoes. Painful the first 3 days, not bad now, I am told by my booklet that by day 10 I should be able to walk without crutches, yay!I like that they had to put a 'X' to make sure they were doing the right foot

I'm completely in love with the wildlife that wonders into our new backyard. I will try to get some good photos of everything I see. The other day this Northern flicker (Colaptes auratus) danced around our bird feeder. Looking up the species, its a male western red-shafted flicker

Here is our new couch! Its an IKEA leather couch that I bought off of craigslist, I couldn't be happier 'cause its in perfect condition and theres no way I could afford a leather couch otherwise

Week 1 went by really well... week 2 went even better! Barbarella now stays out with Sal and Inertia when we are at work. Sal has definitely fallen in love with her. If she holds still long enough he'll give her a grooming, but for now he just licks her face whenever he can.He likes to sleep in her room with her too!Inertia does not beat Barbaarella up when she walks by, this is a very good signBarbarella likes to be near me when I'm working at my desk, which can be a problem when im trying to type. When she sleeps it melts your heart tho

Barbarella spent today outside of her roomShes been spending time up on my desk, mostly typing for meBut sometimes she sleeps in her kitty bed, which includes right nowI also frosted some cupcakes I made yesterday. Not bad for using a vegie bag from safewayof course the top photo is of the best one, after a while new holes started to appear in the bag, and I got sloppy. Still they are tasty!
